Spinal Anesthesia for Open Appendectomy in a Patient With Cystic Fibrosis and Coagulation Abnormalities: A Case of Tailored Anesthetic Management.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems, often leading to significant perioperative challenges due to compromised lung function, recurrent infections, and chronic respiratory failure. Managing anesthesia in patients with CF requires careful consideration, particularly because of the increased risk of respiratory complications with general anesthesia (GA). Neuraxial anesthesia, such as spinal anesthesia, presents an alternative that can reduce the likelihood of postoperative pulmonary issues, including respiratory depression, hypoxemia, and atelectasis.

Endoscopy-assisted laparoscopic wedge-resection of gastric glomus tumor: A case report.

Introduction: Glomus tumor is a pericytic mesenchymal neoplasm that most commonly occurs in the extremities. The occurrence in visceral organs is rare and is a differential diagnosis with other gastric submucosal tumors.

Presentation Of Case: A woman with epigastric pain underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) which revealed a gastric submucosal tumor.

Gastric metastasis from breast cancer in male patient - Case report and literature review.

Introduction: Male breast cancer has a low incidence, and its metastases are considered even rarer and a sign of seriousness for the patient. Breast metastases are difficult to diagnose even in female patients, with few cases of gastric metastasis described in the current literature.

Presentation Of Case: Male patient, 54 years old, obese, diagnosed with breast cancer for 8 years, underwent 5 years of cancer follow-up.

Bowel obstruction in entero-colic fistula associated with magnet ingestion in children at the Amazonas countryside.

Ingestion of small objects by children became worrisome as the number of cases increased over the years. Consequences such as intestinal obstruction or even infection of the gastrointestinal tract are becoming more frequent since even in majority cases there is having only an expectant conduct, complications can occur. Also, the combination of two elements such as punctiform metallic materials and imams cause fistula formation in loops with greater ease, granulomas in the intestines, perforation, and can progress to peritonitis or abscesses, as well as having considerable morbidity.

Tr-1-like CD4+CD25-CD127-/lowFOXP3- cells are the main source of interleukin 10 in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania braziliensis.

CD4(+)CD25(+)FOXP3(+) regulatory T cells have long been shown to mediate susceptibility to Leishmania infection, mainly via interleukin 10 production. In this work, we showed that the main sources of interleukin 10 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania braziliensis are CD4(+)CD25(-)CD127(-/low)FOXP3(-) cells. Compared with uninfected controls, patients with CL had increased frequencies of circulating interleukin 10-producing CD4(+)CD25(-)CD127(-/low) cells, which efficiently suppressed tumor necrosis factor α production by the total PBMC population.
